Jerry tackled I.D. Models 1/32 scale A26C, and converted it to an A26A/K from the 609th ACW in Nakom Phenom Thailand during 1969.   Just to be clear this is a Vacuform kit, with all details needing to be either scratch built or sourced from other kits.

The engines are QuickBoost P-47 radials with modified P-51-K props, and the cowls were converted from two Tamiya Corsair cowls with scratch built flaps and intakes.   The landing gear are modified cast metal B-25 pieces that feature P-61 wheels and tires with corrected tread patterns.

The cockpit was 100% scratch built, with the exception of the use of two P-51D seats.   The rear gunner's position was also built up using lots of Evergreen plastic.   Underneath, the bombay was scratch constructed featuring resin "funny" bombs and 100lb cluster bombs - 36 in all, each with 7 pieces!   Finally, the hanging ordnance employed resin and scratch made pieces, and the tip tanks were adapted from 1/48 F-101 drop tanks.
